Distinctive Supramolecular Features of β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes with Antidepressants Protriptyline and Maprotiline: A Comprehensive Structural Investigation. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:ph14080812. [PMID: 34451908 PMCID: PMC8400697 DOI: 10.3390/ph14080812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Depression, a global mental illness, is worsened due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are efficacious for the treatment of depression, even though they have more side effects. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are powerful encapsulating agents for improving molecular stability, water solubility, and lessening the undesired effects of drugs. Because the atomic-level understanding of the β-CD–TCA inclusion complexes remains elusive, we carried out a comprehensive structural study via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory (DFT) full-geometry optimization. Here, we focus on two complexes lining on the opposite side of the β-CD–TCA stability spectrum based on binding constants (Kas) in solution, β-CD–protriptyline (PRT) 1—most stable and β-CD–maprotiline (MPL) 2—least stable. X-ray crystallography unveiled that in the β-CD cavity, the PRT B-ring and MPL A-ring are aligned at a nearly perfect right angle against the O4 plane and primarily maintained in position by intermolecular C–H···π interactions. The increased rigidity of the tricyclic cores is arising from the PRT -CH=CH- bridge widens, and the MPL -CH2–CH2- flexure narrows the butterfly angles, facilitating the deepest and shallower insertions of PRT B-ring (1) and MPL A-ring (2) in the distorted round β-CD cavity for better complexation. This is indicated by the DFT-derived complex stabilization energies (ΔEstbs), although the complex stability orders based on Kas and ΔEstbs are different. The dispersion and the basis set superposition error (BSSE) corrections were considered to improve the DFT results. Plus, the distinctive 3D arrangements of 1 and 2 are discussed. This work provides the first crystallographic evidence of PRT and MPL stabilized in the β-CD cavity, suggesting the potential application of CDs for efficient drug delivery.

Abstract
This chapter includes the aspects of carbamazepine. The drug is synthesized by the use of 5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine and phosgene followed by subsequent reaction with ammonia. Carbamazepine is generally used for the treatment of seizure disorders and neuropathic pain, it is also important as off-label for a second-line treatment for bipolar disorder and in combination with an antipsychotic in some cases of schizophrenia when treatment with a conventional antipsychotic alone has failed. Other uses may include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, phantom limb syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, borderline personality disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The chapter discusses the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics and presents various methods of analysis of this drug such electrochemical analysis, spectroscopic analysis, and chromatographic techniques of separation. It also discusses its physical properties such as solubility characteristics, X-ray powder diffraction pattern, and thermal methods of analysis. The chapter is concluded with a discussion on its biological properties such as activity, toxicity, and safety.

Abstract
A solvent-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography method was set up for the simultaneous determination of the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline (AMI) and its main impurities. The method was developed following Quality by Design (QbD) principles according to ICH Guideline Q8(R2). QbD approach made it possible to find the design space (DS), where quality was assured. After a scouting phase, aimed at selecting a suitable capillary electrophoresis pseudostationary phase, risk assessment tools were employed to define the critical process parameters (CPPs) to be considered in a screening phase (applied voltage, concentration and pH of the background electrolyte, concentration of the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate, of the cosurfactant n-butanol and of the organic modifiers acetonitrile and urea). The effects of the seven selected CPPs on critical quality attributes (CQAs), namely resolution values between critical peak pairs and analysis time, were investigated throughout the knowledge space by means of a symmetric screening matrix. Response surface study was then carried out on four selected CPPs by applying a Doehlert Design. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed in order to estimate the probability of meeting the desired specifications on CQAs, and thus to define the DS by means of a risk of failure map. Additional points at the edges of the DS were tested in order to verify the requirements for CQAs to be fulfilled. A control strategy was implemented by defining system suitability tests. The developed method was validated following ICH Guideline Q2(R1), including robustness assessment by Plackett-Burman design, and was applied to the analysis of real samples of amitriptyline coated tablets.

Abstract
CE of tricyclic antidepressants clomipramine and its metabolites demethylclomipramine, didemethylclomipramine and 8-hydroxyclomipramine resulted in partly extremely tailing peaks in bare fused-silica capillaries. Especially at high pH of the BGE this behavior was not unexpected as adsorption of the cationic analytes onto the negatively charged wall due to electrostatic attraction can be supposed. Less expected was the observation that peak tailing could not be overcome neither by using a capillary with dynamic coating with cationic CTAB added to the BGE, nor by the usage of a capillary permanently coated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), both operated at acidic pH. As this tailing was even more pronounced than with bare fused silica, and was suppressed upon addition of MeCN to the BGE, another source of adsorption than pure ion-ion interaction seems plausible. In the bare silica capillary the mobility, mu, of the analytes followed roughly the pH dependence of a monoacidic base, but two deviations from the sigmoid theoretical curve were evident: (i) even at low pH the mobilities were not constant; they decreased in contrary with pH over the entire range; (ii) the apparent pK(a) values of two analytes, derived at the pH with halve the mobility at low pH, are significantly smaller than the thermodynamic pK(a). Upon modifying the expression for mu = f(pH), and considering the pH dependence of the negative charge density at the wall by an additional term which takes chromatographic retention into account, an equation was derived which enables the description of the observed electromigration of the analytes as function of pH, pK(a) of analytes and surface silanol groups, actual mobility of analytes, distribution coefficient (or retention factor) due to adsorption including its pH dependence. The interplay of electrophoretic movement and residual adsorptive retention allowed to resolve the analytes finally in an uncoated capillary, namely at pH 7.65 (30 mM ionic strength), whereas at the cost of the robustness of the separation system.

Abstract
The work presented here explores the possibilities of the electrokinetic injection (EK) to achieve sensitive methods for the determination of tricyclic antidepressants in biological samples (serum). The addition of ACN to the sample, with high content in salts, causes stacking at the tip of the capillary, in a similar way as for hydrodynamic injection. An experimental design with the response surface methodology has been used to find the optimum composition of the matrix of the sample (sodium chloride and ACN percentages) and the conditions for the EK (water-plug length, time, and voltage of injection) in few experiments. The composition of the separation buffer was the same as utilized in a previous paper. The use of a bubble capillary to reach lower detection limits implies a loss of the resolution and requires a new optimization. Finally, a comparison between electrokinetic and hydrodynamic injections is made.

Abstract
This article covers recent publications from 2003 to 2005 on the subject of pharmacokinetic applications of CE. Many analytical methods were validated and more importantly, they were shown to have sufficient sensitivities to access pharmacokinetic data on different models. Because of unique advantages, such as simplified sample preparation methods, small sample amount required, high separation power, and speedy analysis, CE-based assays were found to gain popularity not only as a second method but also as a major method for many pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract
Stacking methods are very important in overcoming the poor detection limits in capillary electrophoresis (CE). In this paper, the separation and determination of several tricyclic antidepressants by a stacking method is described. The inclusion of acetonitrile (ACN) in the sample causes stacking (transient pseudoisotachophoresis) especially in presence of sodium chloride. An experimental design (central composite design) together with the response surface methodology has been used to find the optimum composition of the separation buffer and the optimal stacking conditions in few experiments. The response functions used are the product of the total resolution by the number of peaks, for the optimization of the separation buffer, and the product of the total resolution by the mean of the peak heights, for the optimization of the stacking conditions. About 28% of the capillary volume is loaded with sample. The calibration curves are linear over the working range (50-300 ng/mL). With a bubble capillary, the limits of detection (LODs) are in the order of 5 ng/mL. For the analysis of serum samples, enrichment with sodium chloride and the protein precipitation with ACN are enough to avoid interferences and to get stacking. Recoveries between 91.6 and 104% and RSD between 0.6 and 12% are obtained in the analysis of samples of lyophilized human serum and non-lyophilized human serum, spiked with the drugs.

Abstract
Several types of synthetic ionic polymers have been employed as pseudostationary phases in electrokinetic chromatography. The polymers have been shown to have some significant advantages and different chemical selectivity relative to conventional surfactant micelles. Polymeric phases are effective for the separation and analysis of hydrophobic and chiral compounds, and may be useful for the application of mass spectrometric detection. Additionally, the polymeric phases often demonstrate unique selectivity relative to micellar phases, and can be designed and synthesized to provide desired selectivity. This review covers efforts to develop and characterize the performance, characteristics, and selectivity of synthetic polymeric pseudostationary phases since their introduction in 1992. Some ideas for the future development of polymeric pseudostationary phases and the role they may play in electrokinetic separations are presented.

Abstract
A review is presented on the use of charged cyclodextrins (CDs) as chiral selectors in capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the separation of analytes in pharmaceutical analysis. An overview is given of theoretical models that have been developed for a better prediction of the enantiomeric resolution and for a better understanding of the separation mechanism. Several types of charged CDs have been used in chiral capillary electrophoretic separation (anionic, cationic, and amphoteric CDs). Especially the anionic CDs seem to be valuable due to the fact that many pharmaceutically interesting compounds can easily be protonated (e.g., amine groups). For that reason several anionic CDs are now commercially available. Cationic and amphoteric CDs are less common in chiral analysis and only a few are commercially available. Attention is paid to the most common synthesis routes and the characterization of the CDs used in chiral capillary electrophoretic separations. The degree of substitution in the synthesized CDs may vary from one manufacturer to another or even from batch to batch, which may have a detrimental effect on the reproducibility and ruggedness of the separation system. In Sections 4, 5, and 6 the applications of anionic, cationic, and amphoteric CDs for the chiral separation in CE are described. Many interesting examples are shown and the influence of important parameters on the enantioselectivity is discussed.

Abstract
An on-line nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) technique was developed using a commercial ion spray interface. The nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis ESI-MS system was used to profile tricyclic antidepressants of similar structures and mass-to-charge ratios. We found that pure methanol can be used as a sheath liquid to obtain stable ion spray from nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis. The flow rate of the coaxial nebulizing gas affected baseline signals, separation efficiency, and migration times. Other nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis operating conditions and electrospray parameters were optimized for enhanced baseline separation and high sensitivity detection. The effect of sample stacking on separation and detection was evaluated. The calculated detection limits were approximately 3 pg injected onto the capillary. ESI mass spectra of tricyclic antidepressants from a single quadrupole MS were obtained and elucidated. The information was used to propose fragmentation pathways of the tricyclic antidepressants. The method was also used to analyze the metabolites of amitriptyline produced by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans. Sixteen metabolites were detected and most of them were tentatively identified as demethylated and/or hydroxylated, and/or N-oxidized products.
